Q: I had LANAP done in the entire mouth. I need to know when I can start braces. I have an overbite. LANAP was done 4 days ago on my left side. The right side was 3 weeks ago. What kind of braces do you recommend? I’m 48 years old, in good health, but I need my teeth to be pushed back and also not to cost an arm and a leg. . . for how long do I need the braces? I do not care if is the old fashioned ones as long as it does the job.
A: It is best that you consult the doctor that performed your full mouth LANAP. They should be able to explain to you what the protocol is following the LANAP procedure and the necessary clearances and time to wait before starting any orthodontic treatment.
